112.1

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
wide outside off on a length and moving away, left alone

112.2

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
he is getting good carry as he runs in smoothly to the crease and lets rip one outside off, left alone

112.3

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
confusion all around, Taibu pushes towards mid on and sets off with intent, the non-striker responds with gusto, Taibu sees mid on advancing and stops, non-striker applies the brakes and turns around, he would have been gone had mid on not taken so long to have a shy at the stumps after picking up the ball, though he scored a direct hit, the batsman was just back

112.4

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
pushes a length ball away down the track

112.5

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
left alone as it bounces high outside off stump

112.6

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
lots of effort from Rubel in this length ball close to off, it comes in a bit as well, but Taibu leaves very well, much better than his running in this over

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
length ball outside the off stump and left alone right away

116.2

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
tries the slow full delivery, but Taibu waits for it to come on around middle stump, and pats it down the track

116.3

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
(no ball) FOUR,
Rubel oversteps, gives Taibu width outside the off stump, and he slashes over the ball to keep it down in the gap between slips and gully

116.3

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
again some width outside off, this one not bouncing as much as the previous one, he goes for another slash, a fiercer one this time, and gets an underedge that squirts through second slip

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
length ball on off brings a tight defensive block from Taibu now

116.5

116.6

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
waits for this length ball to come on, and rides the bounce to guide it towards point

118.2

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,

more width outside off, this is hurting Bangladesh, they would want to wrap this innings up, Taibu uses the pace of the bowler to steer this one to the vacant third man boundary

118.3

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
much better, angling it in to Taibu from wide of the crease, he remains in the crease to defend

no run,
inside edge on to pad as he walks forward to defend this one around off, ball rolls away towards point

118.5

no run,
perfect forward defensive from Taibu, head on top of the ball, moving forward after judging that it will pitch on a length, and blocking it with the middle of the bat on the off side

118.6

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
beaten on the cut for once, too close to the body for the shot, bouncing extra too, Taibu goes for it and misses

no run,
Rubel is really working up some good pace, thuds this one high on to Taibu's bat who is pegged on the back foot

124.3

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
gives him a short one that comes slowly off the pitch outside off, Taibu has a look and decides that letting it go is a safer option

Rubel Hossain to Taibu,
no run,
opens up trying to work a fuller one with the angle past mid on but can't beat that man

124.5

Shakib Al Hasan to Taibu,
OUT,
Shakib takes the big one, turn and bounce outside off, the length was full enough to draw Taibu forward and Shakib got enough bite out of the surface to make him edge with an open face to slip who gobbled it up
